Some videogame companies are RockStar Games, Ubisoft, Bungie, Frostbite, Blizzard, 2K, Bethsega, Bounce, Metrix, Starship, and more. Hunched with his troops in a dusty, wind-swept courtyard, the squad leader signals the soldiers to line up against a wall. Clasping automatic weapons, they inch single-file toward a sandy road lined with swaying palm trees.
The squad leader orders a point man to peer around the corner, his quick glance revealing several foes lying in wait behind a smoldering car. A few hand signals, a quick flash of gunfire, and it's over.
The enemy is defeated, but no blood is spilled, no bullet casings spent: All the action is in an upcoming Xbox-based training simulator for the military, called Full Spectrum Warrior.
Increasingly, the Pentagon is joining forces with the video-game industry to train and recruit soldiers. The Army considers such simulators vital for recruits who've been weaned on shoot'em-up games.
Even the Central Intelligence Agency is developing a role-playing computer simulation to train analysts.
"We know that most of our soldiers know how to use a game pad," said Michael Macedonia, chief scientist at the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation in Orlando, Florida. "Every kid figures out the controls pretty fast."
For years, the U.S. armed forces have used big, sophisticated simulators with hydraulics, wall-size video screens and realistic cockpits. But such gear costs millions of dollars -- far too pricey, even by military standards, to be widely available.
And that's why video games make sense.
Full Spectrum Warrior was created through the Institute for Creative Technologies in Marina Del Rey, California, a $45 million endeavor formed by the Army five years ago to connect academics with local entertainment and video-game industries. The institute subcontracted game development work to Los Angeles-based Pandemic Studios.
The institute's other training program, Full Spectrum Command, was released for military use in February.
That game, for the PC, is geared toward light infantry company commanders who lead about 120 people. Set in eastern Europe, it tests organization, decision making and the ability to recognize threats in a peacekeeping setting.
